Edit: Scratch that... I've just tried booting the xenial-i3-pinebook-bspkernel-0.7.7-99.img.xz image, and I'm getting the 1 second power light cycle on off that you reported. $%^#$!
And was that with the same SD card in all those cases? If not, try writing one of these images to the one that worked.
I haven't tried any of the xenial-i3 images, so I'll download one shortly and see what my mileage is. I'm pretty sure the 0.6 i3 images were fine thou... as I think Xalius is a i3 fanboy
Hello, thanks for checking.
By 'untarred' I mean uncompressing .xz archive with GNU tar 'tar -xvJf foo.img.xz'. I wasn't aware that PINE64 installer accepts .xz files.
I only have 1 spare microSD card, I'm sure it is OK as the official MATE image works fine.
I have tried most of the images from github I haven't got any of them working. I finally tried the older xenial-i3-pinebook-bspkernel-0.7.5-88.img.xz image (from 2 weeks ago) and it ALMOST worked, Pinebook booted, and I briefly saw 'Ubuntu 16.04.x LTS' string on the screen but right after that all I saw was blinking cursor, waited 10 minutes and nothing changed.
